Students Visit Columbia
First on the schedule was to check
in at the Biltmore hotel. Our rooms
weren’t ready so after a quick lunch,
we set out for Columbia university
and the press conference.
Following direction sheets, we ar­
rived at McMillan theater where the
conference opened. The group split
up so that we could all cover various
meetings for the Crimson and White
and Brucks and Ivy. A feature
lecture at the theater closed the
day’s meetings. On the way back
several Milnites got slightly con­
fused with the N. Y. subways, wondei'ing how they got in Brooklyn?
After returning to the hotel to
unpack, the juniors separated for
dinner and theater parties. Some
of the various plays which the stu­
dents attended were “The King and
I,” “Ondine,” and “The New York
City Ballet.”
Students Tour “Times”
Friday morning, after an early
breakfast, we toured the New York
Times building, and we were as­
tonished to be behind the scenes
of one of the world’s largest news­
papers. Following our tour, we re­
turned to Columbia for an afternoon
of discussions, lectures, and meet­
ings. We retraced our path to the
Biltmore and once again dressed for
an evening of entertainment.

History Class
Visits Capital
The 12th grade American history
classes recently went on a field trip
to the state capitol where they were
able to supplement their classroom
studies by actually seeing the as­
sembly in session.
The first group consisted of two
students chosen from each class to
attend the session as guests of the
League of Women Voters. The pro­
ceedings of the assembly were then
explained to them by Assemblymen
Herrick and Tabner. Marty Wolman
got a taste of political life by sitting
at the desk of the speaker of the
assembly during the session.
The following Tuesday, the re­
mainder of the seniors went with
their student teachers and Mr.
Soderlind. Although they missed a
tour of the capitol, the interested
seniors were able to watch the
proceedings closely.

Milne and the “Four Freedoms”
Almost decade ago, Norman Rockwell, the
famous American artist, portrayed very strik­
ingly the “Four Freedoms” as laid down by
Prime Minister Churchill and President Roose­
velt in the Atlantic Charter.
The democratic principles of this charter
were to become more and more discussed by
the people of this, and many other nations.
Somehow it seems as if it might do us some
good to once again look at these freedoms as
applies here at Milne.
“Freedom of Speech is surely evident here.
The students discuss issues before the student
council, and have their say on what should be
done in Milne.
“Freedom from fear” in Milne; we have no
secret police to spy on the students.
Some
who break the laws may complain, but their s
is no just grievance.
“Freedom of religion" is also evident here
at Milne.
Students of all religions share the
benefits of the school, and no-one is persecuted
because of a different religion.
“Freedom from want”; we have the most
modern of educational equipment. Our teach­
ers and supervisors are well trained and equip­
ped to balance out the so-called modern educa­
tion with the fundamental “3 R’s”, as evi­
denced by the success of recent Milne graduates
in schools of higher learning.
Yes, we think that Milne truly carries out the
“Four Freedoms” as set up in the Atlantic
Charter. We can be proud of our record, both
as a school, and as students.

Question: What is the one thing
that stands out most in your
memory of a basketball game?
“But Mother, I forgot!” This was the cry of Court­
ney Brown recently when he forgot his own open
house!
Imagine his surprise^ therefore, when he
opened the door and found Lois Smith, Trudy Shaw,
Mary Ann Bullion, Bob Dorn, Karl Becker and
Creighton Cross making themselves at home. Well,
I guess it is possible.
The senior high, disappointed by our loss to B.C.H.S.,
invaded Judy Webel’s open house to try and perk up
their spirits. Stu Doling, Mary Ann O Connell, Paul
Cohen, Ann Crocker, Charles Sloan, Jackie Tomer,
Stevie Greenbaum, Toby Lee Stone, Mickey Cohen,
Emmett TenBroeck and'Steve Weinstein were among
those keeping the neighbors up until all hours.
Nancy Redden, Len Ten Eyck and Beatrice Weinstein
tell us that the recent Albany High Blue Moon dance
was a great success, and they should know, ’cause
they were there.
Colleges seem to have had a great attraction for our
Milne gals lately, judging by the time they’ve spent
at the various “institutes of higher learning.” Flo
Selman was seen having a simply wonderful time at
the Freshman Fling at R.P.I., while Mary McNamara
reports that Brown university’s a real nice place to
spend a weekend, and Sally Simmons has the report
that Wesleyan is, also. Cecil Blum was at the recent
Siena Sno-Ball where she attended the Queen’s court.
Bumps and bruises were recently gained by those
attending the M.G.A.A. skating party. The sacrifices
made on our part were well worth it though, say,
Sue McNeil, Terri Lester, Sara Seiter, Larry Genden,
Edie McNamara, Sherril Miller and Arlene Heinmiller.
New York really showed Barbara Mabus and
Gretchen Wright a good time, or was it visa-versa?
At any rate, they visited the ballet, the Glass Hat,
and the Latin Quarter. All this took place on a lost
weekend.
The two Toby’s Goldstein and Scher, really packed
a “wallup” when they staged a surprise pai’ty for
Eleanor Jacobs. Some of the “helping wallupers”
were Judy Young, Jackie Turner, Evelyn Jasper,
Marcia Leonard, Nancy Kelly, Carol Myers, Judy
Brightman, Carol Pfeiffer and Judy Hannan.
At a little get-together at Ellen Sherman’s were
Doris Markowitz, Connie Leu, Sandra Wurst, Sue
Hershey, Irwin Scher, Victor Hoffman, Paul Tammaroff, Alan Alpart and Jim Cohen.

This question was asked of the
varsity basketball team at Milne .
“Criss” Cross: “The night we beat
B.C.H.S. by 16 points—that night we

Bob Byrum: “The time I played
for three minutes instead of my

Don Smith: “The time we lost to

Jud Lockwood: “The time I made
the basket in the B.C. game from
half court in the closing seconds of
the half.”
Art Melius: “My greatest thrill
was playing first string on the var­
sity during the second half of the
season when I was a sophomore.”
Don Wilson: “The time when I

16 points to be high scorer in the
game.”

CRIMSON AND WHITE
CRIMSON’S CAGERS CONQUERED
Ballston Bests
Raiders, 56-52
After gaining the semi-finals by
virtue of a thrilling opening round j
victory over Fort Plain, 68-65,
Milne’s Red Raiders dropped a close
56-52 decision to Ballston Spa,
Saratoga County League champions.
The sectionals, as in past years, were
held at gigantic Convention Hall in
Saratoga Springs.
Lead All Way
Excitement ran high as the Crim­
son and White got off to a good start
in their win over Fort Plain. The
Milnites led all the way but had to
withstand a determined Fort Plain
rally in the stretch to win. With
Don Smith and Harry Page hitting
consistently on jump shots, the Mil­
nites took an early 18-16 lead at the
quarter and a 38-30 margin at half­
time. During the first half the Red
Raiders’ star center, “Criss” Cross,
was forced to the sidelines with
three early personal fouls. However,
in the third quarter, “Criss” re­
turned to the game and scored 10
quick points to spark the Raiders
to a 54-49 lead as the buzzer sounded
ending the period.
Crimson Challenged
In the last eight minutes of play,
Fort Plain, led by the fantastic per­
centage shooting of Dick Osborne,
put on the pressure and drew to
within a point of the Milnites, 65-65
with 40 seconds remaining. At this
point “Criss” Cross was fouled in
the act of shooting, and he con­
verted both foul shots to clinch the
verdict for Milne 68-65.
Ballston Brilliant
In their second appearance in the
sectionals, the Milnites just didn’t
have the stamina to warrant victory
over a strong and aggressive Ball­
ston Spa squad. Although the Red
Raiders led throughout the game,
Ballston, led by Arlie Uline’s 27
points, took command in the last
two minutes and never relinquished
the slim lead that brought them
victory.
Crimson Crush, 60-46
Led by “Criss” Cross, who tallied
23 points while holding Dick Aloise,
Columbia scoring star to only one
field basket, the Milnites rallied in
the third canto for 17 markers to
take a 60-46 Capital District League
victory.
First Half Close
Playing on even terms for the first
quarter of the contest, the Milnites
managed to spurt ahead with one
minute remaining in the half on
hoops by Art Melius and Joe Page,
taking a slim 33-28 halftime edge.
Raiders Roar
Opening with two quick hoops to
start the third stanza the Raiders
pulled out in front to stay as they
slowly increased their margin to
50-38 at the end of the period.
The Blue Devils staged a short
rally to open the fourth frame but
the Raiders took over for good as
Dick Aloise left the ballgame with
five personal fouls. “Criss” Cross
and Jud Lockwood paced Milne’s
scoring with 23, and Stan Wojeski
tallied 18 for the Blue Devils.
This win proved to be a very de­
cisive one, as it enabled Milne to
compete in the league playoffs.

The Milne gals again invaded
Hoffman’s Skateland, this time on
March 6, when M.G.A.A. sponsored
another skating party. Abbey Perl­
man and Charlotte Sackman, our
two skating pros showed up our
Alma Mater very well, and some of
the gals following their examples
were: Mary McNamara, Mimi Ryan,
Sherril Miller, Sue McNeil, Ellie
McNamara, Katie Simmons, Connie
Evans, Arlene Heinmiller ,and Jerry
Kane. From what I’ve heard, they
didn’t do too badly considering the
little practice they get in that sport.
C.S.P.A. Chaperon
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
March 11, 12, and 13, some of the
junior gals descended upon the “Big
City ’, and going along mainly for
the ride, but also to keep an eye
on them was Miss Murray. This is
the first time that she has chaper­
oned this group, and we hope it
won’t be the last.
Come on out Jud, we saw you go in.
Basketball’s Baffling Best
The following question was asked'
of six regular Milne basketball
players:
In your opinion who is the most
outstanding opposing player that
you have faced this basketball sea­
son, and why?
Art Melius: “John King of B.C.
H.S., an outstanding rebounder and
scorer, was impossible to stip in all
three of the contests in which he
played against us.
Don Wilson: “Stan Wojeski of
Columbia is my choice for the most
outstanding opposing player.
His
fadeaway jump shot was the dead­
liest in the area.
“Criss” Cross: “Their is no ques­
tion in my mind who the most out­
standing opposing player is. The
fact that John King scored 70 points
in three games for B.C.H.S. against
us is reason enough for my choice.
Don Smith: “Dick Osborne of Fort
Plain was undoubtedly the most out­
standing player that I have faced
this season.
Only 5-11 Osborne
could play as well from the pivot
as he could from an outside slot.
Joe Page: “Big John King is the
most outstanding player whom I
have faced this past hoop season.
Scoring on tap-ins, hook shots, and
jump shots King was hard to stop
once he got the ball.”
Jud Lockwood: “I pick Stan
Wojeski of Columbia as the out­
standing opponent this season. A
tremendous rebounder and scorer
for his size, Wojeski was the entire
show for Columbia in both contests
against us this season as he tallied
26 and 18 points.
,
BCHS Rallies to
Nip Raiders, 59-53
Outscored 17-11 in the final stanza
the Milne Red Raiders dropped a
close 59-53 decision to Bethlehem
Central before a capacity crowd on
the Page Hall court.
Crimson Takes Halftime Lead
Taking an early lead at the start
of the ballgame and then holding on
to a slim margin throughout the
first half, the Milnites held a 31-28
intermission lead.
Central Rallies
Opening the third period the visi­
tors scored two quick hoops to pull
into a one point lead. Joe Page
tied the contest with a foul point
32-32. The remainder of the period
the lead changed hands continuous­
ly, as both teams matched each
other loop for loop.
Starting the final canto, the Eagles
scored two quick buckets to take a
lead which they never relinquished.
John King who scored eight points
in the final stanza tallied 23 markers
to lead B.C.H.S. to victory. Joe
Page and “Criss” Cross were Milne’s
feature performers, each netting 14
points.
Game Broadcast
The game was exclusively broad­
cast over station WOKO. The broad­
cast was made possible by the Theta
Nu Society, who secured the spon­
sors. It is hoped that this will serve
as a precedent and basis for the
broadcasting of future games during
the coming seasons.
B.C.H.S. Playday
The Milne girls have been invited
to another playday. Gee, we’re get­
ting popular, aren’t we. This time
it is going to be held at Bethlehem
Central High school’s new school,
on Monday, March 22nd, at 3:00.
Miss Murray is going to let our top
basketball players who haven’t had
a chance to go to the other playdays
attend this one. They are: Betty
Korman, Carline Wood, Mary Killough, Honey McNeil, Margaret
Moran, Brenda Sandberg, Judy
Jenkins, Judy Webel, Trudy Shaw,
Mary Lou Deitrich, Carol Becker,
Janet Vine, Polly Ann Viner, and
Cynthia Berberian.
All together,
there will be 20 girls participating
from Milne. The other six will be
announced at a later date. The gals
are going out in real style: taxis.
Good luck to you all—I know you’ll
do a swell job. We’ve got a good
record for girls’ basketball so far,
and we’d like to make it better.
Girls’ Sports Program
Before we know it, Spring and all
her beauty will be upon us. As the
saying goes, Spring is the time when
a young man’s fancy turns to—base­
ball, and so does the girls’. And
what does baseball mean to us?
Yup, the fly ball club. It also means
a couple of sore hands from catch­
ing those balls, especially the ones
hit by Kathy Kendall and Honey
McNeil, the sluggers of our fair sex.
Did I say baseball—sorry, I meant
softball The gals who want to go
out for tennis will go over to Wash­
ington Park once a week and learn
how to play.
Brenda Sandberg has had charge
of a horseback riding club every
year, and if enough kids are inter­
ested in this sport, I think she could
be persuaded to take charge of it
again this year.
Preparations for Banquet
Cards are being printed for the
Mother-Daughter Banquet, and will
be in the mail very soon. Remem­
ber that there is always a prize for
the first mother to send in her card.
There’s some sort of expression in
Spanish that goes: Hasta Luego,
isn’t there?

TEACHERS,
LET’S LOOK
’EM OVER
By JOHN WOLFE
When it comes time for us to
graduate from the Milne school, we
will no doubt carry with us numer­
ous fond memories of our Alma
Mater. However, when all else is
forgotten, the subject of student
teachers will remain a burning coal
in our brains.
^
Relationship Needs Improvement
Seriously speaking, student teach­
ers occupy a very important place
in the lives of all Milne pupils.
They are literally our guides, whose
duty it is to aid us in obtaining the
well rounded education which is so
vital in our modern society. Thus,
it is obvious that all attempts should
be made to -improve the relation­
ship which exists between the stu­
dent teacher and his class. Un­
fortunately, this is often not the
case. Perhaps an examination of
the typical student teacher will
help us to improve the existing
conditions.
Student Teacher Deserves Credit
The average student teacher enters
his first classroom with many hours
of excellent preparation to his credit.
Nevertheless, he is far from being
a polished teacher. This comes only
with experience, and only for this
reason does the student teaching
program exist. The student teacher
is in the process of learning, just
as we are, and when we fail to
give him our cooperation we are
not only hurting oui’selves, but we
are actually impeding the progress
of his education. Naturally, realiz­
ing this, he feels justified resent­
ment towards his pupil. Immedi­
ately they sense his attitude, and
become even less cooperative. This
is a vicious circle, and it is also
one of the most fundamental reasons
for friction between student and
teacher.
Interest Must Be Shown for Class
However, I feel compelled to state
that some of the blame for bad
student-teacher relationships rests
upon the shoulders of the instructors
themselves. It is an unfortunate
truth that many student teachers re­
gard their class as simply another
obstacle which must be overcome,
such as going to see the dentist.
Perhaps lurid tales of the lack of
coopei’ation and disrespect for au­
thority of some Milne students have
seeped into State Teachers college,
thus causing the adaption of a de­
fensive attitude. On the other hand,
if a student teacher discovers that
he simply dislikes working with his
pupils, it is obviously his moral
duty to get out of teaching as fast
as he can.
A Good Solution Is Needed
Perhaps the solution to the prob­
lem lies in our philosophy towards
student teachers. If we could re­
gard them as fellow pupils, working
toward the same goals that we are,
it would be easier to form healthier
relationships. If you have the spare
time, you might think about the
matter.
Quin, Sigma
Plan Dance
The annual Quin-Signa dance has
been set for March 20th. As usual
the place is Pierce Hall, on Ontario
street. Tony Farina and his “five
piece combo,'’ will supply the music
from 8:30-12:30. Mr. Farina’s band
has played at many of the Milne
dances, and is very popular with
the students.
Each Date To Receive a Boutonniere
A special carnation boutonniere
will be presented to each member’s
escort. Quin makes the cookie re­
freshments again this year, as the
penalty for losing the bowling match
as the Quin-Sigma bowling party.
As usual the dance is to be a dressy
affair.
Milnites Greet
New Business
Supervisor
Greetings to Mrs. Persis Tucker,
a supervisor of commercial educa­
tion, for this semester. Mrs. Tucker
takes the place of Mr. Fairbanks,
who is on sabbatical leave. He will
return in September.
Mrs. Tucker is a native of New
York state, and received her teach­
ing diploma at State college. She
has taught in the New Lebanon
Central school and will return there
in the Fall. She is presently work­
ing on her masters degree.
Mr. Tucker is a coach at New
Lebanon where his specialty is bas­
ketball. He has also helped out
with Milne teams.
Mrs. Tucker’s comment about our
alma mater is: “I like Milne very
much!”
Tri-Hi-Y Activities
Tri-Hi-Y is really making progress
this year, with all their various new
activities. From the looks of things
now, the organization is going to
have a busy Spring.
Last Tuesday night, March 16th,
Tri-Hi sponsored a St. Patrick’s Day
party. The next big event on the
schedule, is the sports night, which
is tentatively set for Friday night,
April 9th. The affair is being plan­
ned so that all the grades will be
able to participate in at least one
event.
A reception for the parents of the

Milne Card Party
Is Successful
Milne’s annual senior card party
was a huge success, this year. Each
mother baked cookies or cakes for
the bake sale before the card party.
The senior class bought potted
plants and sold them to the parents
as favors. As a result of this sale,
plus the contributions and ticket
sales, the return was excellent.
Arthur Melius, vice-president of
the senior class, stated that the class
of “54”, earned $420. This money
is used for graduation expenses each
year.
Congratulations for a job
well done.

By SUE BOWER
“Havin’ a party, lady?”, seems to
be the familiar cry in Milne’s halls
lately. Parties are more popular
than ever with the traditional open
house, “did I say traditional?”, the
favorite kind for everyone.
The
object of this type of party is to
cram as many people as possible
into one house or apartment and
commence to have a “grand old
time.”

“The Creep,” Latest Dance Fad
“Say, have you been watching that
group of Milnites who like to trip
the light fantastic at open houses?”
In between shagging, bunny-hop­
ping, and Charlestoning, undoubted­
ly they were doing “The Creep.”
This latest dance fad is the greatest
ever and can best be described as
a combination of the Shag and the
Bunny-Hop.
It can be danced
either in a chain gang or by couples.
Another popular pastime at parties
is charades. It’s lots of fun to sit
in a circle and act out book and
song titles. Have you ever tried
“The Taming of the Shrew?” By
the way, sophs, this game is not
played with a bottle.
“Glenn Miller Story” Entertaining
In the entertainment world we
find, wherever we turn, the name
and the music of the immortal
Glenn Miller. The chief reason for
this sudden revival of Glenn’s music
is the Universal-International pic­
ture, “The Glenn Miller Story.”
This biography stars Jimmy Stewart
as Glenn, and June Alyson as his
wife.
Records Made From Film
The sound track of this film is
available on all standard size re­
cords, and contains many sensational
tunes such as “Moonlight Serenade,”
“String of Pearls,” and “Tuxedo
Junction.” R.C.A. Victor has re­
leased an original album of Glenn
Miller music. Two of the many hit
tunes in it that the artist recorded
are “Star Dust” and “Little Brown
Jug.” Both albums contain such
jazz classics as “In the Mood” and
“Pennsylvania — Six - Five - Thou­
sand.” Glenn’s style of music will
come as a delightful surprise to all
of you who have been so-called
“jazz critics.”
We Now Have Pink Bermudas
Fashion wise, the new Spring
styles are bright and dazzling. The
big scoop of Spring 1954 is the tail­
ored white Chesterfield coat. Sim­
plicity reigns and gives the wearer
an immaculate, fresh appearance.
Pink and scarlet are also big news,
but newsier, still, is the fact that
they are being worn, together. By
the way, Bermuda shorts are being
made in pink linen. Although popu­
lar in past years, the princess style
will be emphasized very much this
Spring in both coats and dresses.
It is quite apparent that the fairer
sex will be very lovely and fashion­
able this season. However, if the
boys persist upon D. A. haircuts and
peg pants, they will be left far- in
the background.
Please fellows,
stick to grey flannels!

SUSAN BOWER
Born on January 11, 1937, little
did the public know that this
gloihous specimen, namely Sue
Bower, was destined for stardom as
another member of the class of
“54”. Rah, rah!
Before entering Milne in the
seventh grade, Susy attended P. S.
19, then at last she became one of
us.
’
To say that Miss Bower has been
active during her stay at Milne
would be an understatement. She
is a member of Quin, Tri-Hi-Y, the
Bricks and Ivy, secretary of the Art
Council, secretary of her homeroom
and last but not least, Exchange
Editor and columnist for the Crim­
son and White.
Sue is crazy about Fords (wonder
why?) and coffee milkshakes. Every
once in a while you can find her in
the senior room knitting argyles.
At the time of this interview she
couldn’t think of anything that was
particularly distasteful but her pet
peeve is buses that never arrive.
After graduation in June (she
hopes), Sue plans to attend the Uni­
versity of Vermont, where she will
major in education.
JUDSON LOCKWOOD
This month we’re interviewing
JudSon Lockwood, or as everyone
calls him, “Jud.”
Born in Albany, December 16,
1936 and being of sound mind and
body he was permitted to advance
to the status of another famous
Milnite. Since Milne offers so many
advantages, Jud’s talents were soon
recognized both by the faculty and
his classmates.
The basketball team wouldn’t be
complete without him and neither
would the baseball team. He is
also pi’esident of Theta Nu, vicepresident of Hi-Y, M.B.A.A. vicepresident and Sports Editor for the
Crimson and White/
Ask Jud what his likes are and
he’ll tell you spaghetti among the
more obvious, and sports. His dis­
likes include a 1 a.m. curfew on
weekends and woman drivers, (kill
him.)
After graduating Jud will go to
either Brockport or Cortland State
and major in physical education.
